Yeah I figured after the PP problems they wouldn't go with Intamin -

How much do the summer discounted tickets cost if bought at the Campgrounds? The website says there is a good discount but never gives a number. -

What is the most "Forceless" coaster?
ShaneH replied to DoinItForTheFame's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't think Thunderbird is forceless. You pull some strong G's at the bottom of the loop and the bottom of the horseshoe turns. I have actually greyed out on it. It isn't as intense as Kumba but it is more intense than most B&Ms. -

Horrible Park Operations
ShaneH replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The worst operations I've experienced were on Justice League at SFStL where the sign said it was a 75 minute wait and it took 3 hours. The capacity was about 100 peopl a hour. The que line isn't big at all but it took forever -

I don't think HW will get a coaster from Intamin. They probably don't have a great relationship and HW likes reliable coasters. They can't afford to make a huge investment in another Intamin and then have it not work. They aren't in a big chain where they can easily recover from one failed ride. Intamin hasn't done a whole lot with coasters in the US this past couple of years and their rides have had some major problems like Falcons Fury, I305, and Skyrush. I think HW would rather play it safe and get their next coaster from B&M, RMC, or Mack. In a magazine article back in August it sounds like they will get a steel and a wooden coaster in the next 10 years. I think the wooden will be a RMC and the steel a B&M or possibly a Mack coaster similar to Alpina Blitz and Storm. -
Your guilty pleasure ride
ShaneH replied to DanTheBooker's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes! I actually love these little coasters. I've always wondered if it would be possible to change the 'Mini Coopers' to spinning cars. Can you imagine that triple helix while the cars are also spinning? Besides BLSC I also love wild mouse coasters and mine trains for some reason. EDIT: I also used to be obsessed with Son of Beast lol. That was for sure a guilty pleasure. I like the ride its self but the trains need more cushion because when I ride I always slam my elbows into the car -

Favorite Defunct Roller Coaster/Ride

The Disaster Transport at CP, because it had sold theming. I don't think they made a mistake though in getting rid of it. -

I never seen people love on the Legend like you guys. All I ever hear from others is that it is too rough. It's nice to see that others enjoy it also -

A marathon on Voyage is 3 times, but I've ridden 6 times in a row in the back without getting off. I was so tired afterwards. I've ridden Bizarro/Superman 10 times in 4 hours, 11 on Montu the day I went to BGT and went on 124 inversions that day.
